For the most part, the course is fast and flat, with the exception of a quick hill between miles 2 and 3. Our course begins on Eastbound on Chestnut Ave with the first mile winding through residential neighborhoods. The remainder of the course is through Gallery Park around Lake Glenview. There are water stations at both the entry of park and after mile 2.
